Tamiya 47390 - Avante (2011) Black Special 1/10 Off-Road Buggy Kit for Hobby Racers  [47390]

Releasing the Tamiya Avante 47390 Black Special: Heritage Meets Modern RC Design

The Tamiya Avante 47390 Black Special celebrates a long-running RC lineage while offering practical performance upgrades. This limited edition pays homage to the Mini 4WD look and brings a refreshed, race-ready kit to enthusiasts who value both style and durability.

Roots of the Avante: Engineering That Endures

The heart of the Avante 47390 is its shaft-driven 4WD layout, a design inspired by Tamiya classics like the Hotshot. The kit features an FRP double-deck chassis, motor and battery mounted longitudinally, and a formula-style body that blends form with function. A compact gearbox and center differential add stability, while the fully adjustable suspension lets tuners refine handling for different tracks.

Upgrades Focused on Strength and Weight Savings

The Black Special enhances longevity with universal drive-shafts and machined aluminum uprights. Carbon fiber components, including the 2mm upper and lower decks and the rear damper stay, reduce weight and resist track impacts, making the car better suited to aggressive off-road use.

A solid choice for collectors and active hobbyists, the Tamiya Avante 47390 Black Special blends nostalgic design with practical modern reinforcements for consistent off-road performance.
